DSG 1199: Prehistoric Sci-Fantasy: DINOSAURS ENCOUNTER CRASHED ALIEN SHIP & SURVIVORS

[William b. Hand]

[ Hmm... ]

[ What sort of meeting might this be, I wonder? ]

[ I'm thinking that the abrupt and damaged nature of the aliens arrival has probably put them at something of a disadvantage against some of the more sharply-toothed locals... ]

[ ...but, maybe they've still got a defense mechanism or two? ]

[ Or maybe they lucked out by crashing near some less fearsome dinos, and are not currently on the defensive... I suppose that's possible, if a bit less dramatic. ]

[ There IS also the option that the aliens are of a more predatory variety themselves, in which case the dinosaurs might be in trouble. ]

[ There are so many, many ways that this one could be approached. ]

[ If you're not familiar with dinosaurs, I highly recommend that you track down some reference. ]

[ Same goes for the aliens. ]

This theme rocks!

Took an hour. Its more like dinasaur encounters alien spaceship survivor, but close.

Trying to experiment painting with 100% opacity. Started blocking in greys & then color as suggested by ashton, seems to help alot!

Oh, & ref used was Jurassic Park's velociraptors. The aliens ref was the aliens movie, but I wanted to have an alien less like a predator.

This is my first DSG post...About an hours work. I am not a terrific artist or that great in photoshop but I am going to start putting a lot more effort into getting better.

[Larkin2]

Great topic William...

Here's mine, about 40 minutes with several breaks.. Photoshop 6.0 +mouse.. Looked at references for the T-rex (not trace)

I need to work on mechanical structures..

[ToadmillLLC]

This is my first post here. Enjoy. I think it took about an hour or so. I futz with somethings in Photoshop, but am not happy with a few things. Brachiosaurus was from a book I have and the aliens I made up on my own.

[coco]

Heres my offering after about 30 min. Guess I'm the only one who decided the aliens would go on the offensive? HA!



Thoughts, crits?

Jack Frost: Love that, seriously.
Larkin2: Great job aswell.
Michael Huggins: MSPaint. Mouse. I loathe you

[Brynmor]

Next time, I'm going to go for the impressionistic-y thing first rather than later.

MikeHiggins: You're kidding. MSPaint? A mouse? You must be mad.

[MichaelHuggins]

I wasn't going to do today's DSG, but since I was trying out brushes, and had a dozen or so CS2 crashes, I felt I had to do something fun, then I had some more crashes and I lost the piece, but the initial sketch was saved due to excessive ctrl+s I've been forced upon today :cry:

anyway - I'm tired of CS2 and drawing at the moment, so I fear this will have to do, sorry.



Oh, I've been playing around with ink brushes today, hate the brushes really, due to the crashes, but I love the style of drawing (should really get painter)

[eblu]

dan, theres a point upgrade that limits the crashes... go get it. its not perfect but it helps.

Just a sketch this time. I Left my tumbnail in i just scanned the page as is.

i thinkthis one came out ok. about 1hr 15 mins

[Supialoctopod]

I'm not going to finish this so I'll just post what I have:

[ashton]

[Tigermoth]

[bokkaku]

Hullo All! With the arrival of a computer strong enough to support my Christmas present (Corel Painter IX.5), I'm delighted to finally post something in DSG. That, and I just couldn't pass up a dinosaur.

[Bismod]

First post as well.

[VadiQ]

there is no encounter in this one yet...

[Crusoe the Painter]

Here's mine. It's a somewhat quick doodle in B&W. I'm trying to get better at contrast and tone.
